Reporting game results for playtests

feeds@yuku.com (El Condoro) — Sat, 07 Nov 2009 06:10:22 GMT

To encourage the completion of scenarios under playtest:

Results for games played when the scenario was in playtest will only be counted on the ladders when the scenario has passed the Playtest procedure.

Games will continue to appear on the ladders with the Playtest column ticked until then and will be recorded as soon as the scenario is accepted as an official FFWC scenario.

.exe being used?

feeds@yuku.com (Goldfinger) — Fri, 06 Nov 2009 20:20:14 GMT

Is there an easy way to tell what .exe file is being used (2.10, 2.20) BEFORE loading the turn? Its easy to tell what efile you have loaded since it shows it on the 1st datup screen. I wish it showed the .exe being used on same screen.

out for the weekend

I'm out until Tuesday and will resume my games then.
Thanks for being patient!

This looks pretty cool. Complete PG2 game download with all the settings, upgrades and tools. I'll test it at home and perhaps it would be a good idea to make an update for it that would include all FFWC content.

NVIDIA and other driver issues that affect PG2

feeds@yuku.com (El Condoro) — Fri, 30 Oct 2009 22:27:41 GMT

This has become an important issue as PG2 has become all but unplayable on some NVIDIA graphics cards and with Vista, in many cases. The end result is that guys stop playing, which is the kicker.

This forum thread at JP's Panzers has heaps of useful discussions and tips for 'solving' the problems, which are so various that they defy a simple solution.

SSI Round Robin Caen-Operation Goodwood - open

feeds@yuku.com (El Condoro) — Thu, 29 Oct 2009 10:56:45 GMT

There are 3 slots left for this one.

Why are the SSI scenarios more popular than the FFWC ones in Round Robins?

feeds@yuku.com (El Condoro) — Wed, 28 Oct 2009 19:36:05 GMT

I'm seeing the SSI Round Robins fill up fairly regularly but the FFWC scenario ones are stagnant. Why is it so?

I have some ideas on why but am interested in your ideas.

Wacht without planes

feeds@yuku.com (Goldfinger) — Wed, 28 Oct 2009 02:44:30 GMT

Von Luck and myself just finished a game of Wacht am Rhine, using normal club rules. We wonder if the game's unrealistic allowance of planes to fly in bad weather hurts its playability since Germans use their planes to scout ahead of their forces so they dont get ambushes, while US planes try and find where the enemy is mobilizing which takes away their sneak attack advantage. Both sides use this tactic to their advantages and since most games are played mirrored, it can be said that it...

This ought to be good.

"The Pacific"

For a long time rumors have circulated that Tom Hanks and Steven Spielberg were collaborating on a World War II: Pacific Theater/Marine Corps HBO mini series in the same spirit of their highly respected "Band of Brothers.." This is no longer a rumor. In 2010, "The Pacific" will air on HBO as a ten part mini...

Looking for a challenge

feeds@yuku.com (karhu3) — Mon, 12 Oct 2009 22:02:29 GMT

Is there someone interested in playing a fast game (1 turn a day most of the time)

I can play SSI or FFWC scenarios (or even something else if it's interesting).

1) Drive to the Sea2 FFWC ... Just some minor tweaks left to be made. NOTE: I stuck with the original SSI scen name as I tried to keep this one as close as possible to the original ... fast & short. I have in the early stages of development a more detailed version (Bn scale) that will use the newer Caen West Map.

2) Operation Baytown FFWC ... From a run thru with El Commandante, this scen (orig...

OpenPG2 and PBEM

feeds@yuku.com (El Condoro) — Sat, 03 Oct 2009 13:22:07 GMT

Luis Guzman is the lead programmer in charge of the OpenPG2 project. The aim of this project is to (re) create the Panzer General II game engine with open-source coding, as well as to utilise the latest graphics technologies and a raft of other features. It does not seek to create something other than PG2 and so it aims to be compatible with existing PG2 scenarios, campaigns and equipment. It is based on the 2.20 executable and utilises features available to designers through Luis...
